  Episode 21 - The Sticking Point (or, why it took my three weeks to rewrite a single scene)

  Jun 8, 202632 min

  Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been writing and suddenly, you CAN’T write anymore and you don’t understand why? Maybe you just hit a Sticking Point! In this episode, I talk about this notion to better understand what’s happening when you can no longer write and what to do to keep on progressing, using as an example what I recently live while editing my second (agented) novel.

  Episode 20 - Your work in progress isn’t shitty; it’s just unfinished

  Jun 2, 202632 min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I share how viewing your WIP as “unfinished” instead of “shitty” will be immensily helpful by using the comparaison of building a house. It’s a conversation I had with many of my writer friends that has helped them a lot and I’m sure it will benefit you too! I also talk about why I decided not to submit my old short stories anymore.

  Apr 14, 20261h 4m

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I talk about: Balancing giving yourself time to write the best book possible while also pushing yourself to meet a deadline that’s a little stretch (yes, both are possible 😜) How to make a plan for you to finish a draft by a certain date and how that can be useful in your process How to see the progress you’re making on your novel by breaking it down in smaller pieces Why it is important to diversify yourself as a writer, how it can bring you more stable income but also more joy in your career, as well as ways for you to do it How making your goal less specific opens you up for more hope that you can reach the life of your dreams How to find the recipe to write strong opening pages for any genre The steps to approach any writing problems as a challenge Get inspired by other stories to make sure your story innovates while still being in conversation with the works of your genre How woo-woo I am about characters and ideas How to craft interesting characters Why sometimes the best thing to do is to move away from the challenge ✨ Join the 5-Day Writer Hype Challenge!
